6 Christian figures react to Trump post depicting himself as Jesus-like healer: 'Blasphemy'
Christian leaders and influencers have voiced their disapproval after President Donald Trump shared an AI-generated image on social media depicting himself as a Jesus-like figure, with some supporters of the current administration condemning the post as blasphemous.
On Sunday, Trump shared an image on Truth Social showing him wearing a white robe with a red shawl, placing his right hand on the forehead of a man lying in a hospital bed. The image also included a nurse and a woman praying.
The background featured an American flag, the Statue of Liberty and other classic American symbols, along with several figures in the clouds above him, including a winged, three-horned figure descending from the heavens.
Trump later deleted the post, telling reporters during a White House briefing Monday that he posted the image himself because he “thought it was me as a doctor.”
“I did post it, and I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do with the Red Cross,” the president said. “There was a Red Cross worker there, which we support.”
However, many thought the post depicted Trump as a Christ-like figure. The following pages highlight reactions from Christian voices.
